Love the vehicle charging stations.

Nice views of the water. Love the charging stations on the property. It was great having my car charged up and ready to go each morning. The charges are so fast that I was able to charge a couple of hours and then move my car closer to my room. Really great amenity.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Beachside Inn. We loved being close to the ocean and going for walks along the beach. It's also close to a number of nice dining places and State Street, the downtown part of Santa Barbara with a number of fun shops as well as the art museum. The hotel offers a great breakfast, likely the best of any hotel I've stayed at. It was so nice to stay in a community that respects the environment as for once the tableware wasn't plastic. The staff was very courteous. Our room was nice. I would go back.
